No. I don't just mean Storm's "insane cult-like fan base." I mean basically anyone that was reading the X-Books during the X-Men Gold era and, frankly, the books since even before then. People have wanted Storm to return to prominence for a long time now.
I don't think that Kitty will do badly under Gerry Duggan. But Kitty needed to take a break from leadership and being the central focus - which she was in both Disassembled and Age of X-Men: Apocalypse and the X-Tracts.

I was reading the X-books during the Colour book era and I and many others were fine with Storm not being the leader. I, personally, was happy that they took a shot on a leader that was not Storm or Cyclops.
Kitty does not need to do anything. As I said, she has not been a leader in an X-Book for 8 months worth of books and with a good writer, she will make a good leader.

X-Tracts and Omega existed to demean her as a clueless floozy who just wanted a good ****. The writer even admitted he had no idea Kittylosssus had detractors. I’m glad Duggan ignored that self-insert nonsense and put her on a team with powerful women.
In Disassembled she didn’t even give a **** when Judaism was erased from the world. Those fanfic writers should be ashamed of themselves.
I like Storm. I think she can serve faithfully as a secondary leader or counsel to an X-team.
However, if she is on a team with anyone other than Cyclops she should be regarded as the next best thing.

The Emma Frost variant wasn't that good? Are you people going blind?

The artwork is nice but it's nothing special. Just looks like a T&A pic with no personality. Like one of those swimsuit pin up issues.
As for the team i'm even more excited after House of X as a said before. This team will have the biggest target on it's back in the MU and probably go the hardest.
Don't let anyone else hold the candle that lights the way to your future because only you can sustain the flame.

Not so much for humans these days
I don't dislike very many X-characters. I feel like Logan is overexposed as a character, but I still like a good Wolverine story if it's written well.
But my favourites are Rachel, Emma, Jean, Orroro, Scott, Kitty, Illyana, and Elizabeth. Those are the characters I post about the most in no particular order. I started reading with Excalibur v1 so my favourites all originated from that series. I like the original cast of that book but I mostly follow Rachel and Kitty, and just stay aware of what's happening for Kurt, Megan, and Brian.
The next big book for me after starting to get in X-Men with Excalibur, was Generation X, hence why I am a big fan of Emma. That's also the reason why I don't care who Scott dates, because I like Emma and Jean individually so I am ok with neither of them dating or being connected to an ongoing ship.
Since I like Emma, Kitty, and Storm, this book will be on my pick list for sure. Just like X-Men, X-Force, and Excalibur will be as well. I am on the fence about Fallen Angels.
You will also catch me posting in other areas because I like Jessica Cruz (Green Lantern), Helena Bertinelli (Huntress), Selina Kyle (Catwoman), Felicia Hardy (Black Cat), Kate Kane (Batwoman), and Barbara Gorden (Batgirl).
I don't buy any non X-books lately, I usually just wait to read most of any non X-book stuff on Marvel Unlimited and pick up the collections of certain DC characters on Kindle when they are on sale.
